The Port of Edmonds Commission unanimously authorized staff on 8 June 2026 to enter Contract 2026-577 with TRICO Companies LLC. Despite the formal title North Portwalk and Seawall Reconstruction Phase II, the award is a site-preparation and marina-electrification package. It covers old-building demolition, M and N dock and Guest Moorage electrical upgrades, a future-restroom water stub, parking access and paving. The owner assigns actual seawall reconstruction and Portwalk structural upgrades to a separate Phase III programme.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Port of Edmonds
Delivery parties
TRICO Companies LLC - construction prime under Contract 2026-577, Wood Harbinger - electrical designer retained for construction-phase technical support, Selected electrical subcontractor - selection acknowledged in Commission minutes, identity not disclosed, Demolition, paving, striping, water, traffic-control and other lower tiers - not named in the cited public records
Contract route
The Port advertised Project 2026-577 as a competitive sealed-bid, traditional bid-build contract with a USD 2.9 million engineer estimate, a 15% apprenticeship requirement and bid, payment and performance security. Bids closed on 8 June 2026. The Commission authorized staff that evening to contract with TRICO after noting a narrow bid spread, relevant project experience and a selected electrical subcontractor with City of Edmonds public-works experience. The authorization is formal award approval; the cited minutes do not publish the executed signature date.
Execution window
The bid notice requires substantial completion by 1 May 2027. The current Port page estimates work will begin at the end of 2026. Washington L&I's contractor intent filing lists 5 October 2026 as Expected Work Start Date; that filing is not notice to proceed, confirmed mobilisation or physical-start evidence.
Works package
Phase II covers the south parking lot and former 336 Admiral Way administration parcel; demolition of the old administration building; electrical upgrades serving M Dock, N Dock and Guest Moorage; installation of Port-furnished electrical components; a water-service stub for the future Phase III restroom; new parking access, asphalt overlay, striping and associated site preparation. The owner describes the phase as enabling a future public plaza and Phase III, not constructing the later plaza or seawall works in full.
Marine interfaces
The work sits inside an operating marina beside active moorage, the north Portwalk and a constrained waterfront parking footprint. The delivery challenge is continuity of marina access and electrical service while replacing landside distribution infrastructure and preparing later waterfront works. The Commission specifically tested TRICO's experience with specialised marine electrical work and constrained sites; Wood Harbinger remains involved to support the electrical design during construction.
Commercial evidence boundary
Three official amount bases describe different layers. Washington L&I records USD 2,521,449.52 as Contract Total for project ID 1253328. The bid notice gives a USD 2.9 million engineer estimate. The current Port project page estimates the complete Phase II at USD 3.2 million and identifies USD 1.5 million from a WSDOT port-electrification grant plus USD 500,000 from an RCO ALEA grant, with the remainder from Port reserves. These are contract, pre-bid and programme-level figures respectively and are not additive.
